BRITISH VERSUS GERMAN.

U-PINO VERSUS LYSOL. The utmost effort "has been mae>c to bring about British trade relationships that will entirely eliminate everything German. New factories have sprung into existence, readv to turn out goods we have' previously had to purchase from our enemies. Chambers of Commerce from the North Capo to the Bluff have pa:<seor resolutions, and entered upon littlctrada missions with the object ot helping British-made goods to replace the "Made in Germany" On our markets. We have, rather unexpectedly, boon given the opportunity to test our loyalty in this trade within the Empire question New Zealand as well as other countries has been spending hundreds of thousands of pounds a year on T.ysol, a Germanmade disinfectant, but we are* now

asked to discontinue doing so, and we are asked to use a truly Britishmade article, U-pino, instead. Thesis every good reason why we should do so, as it is claimed that it is or to and even has advantages over the German article. The Government Analyst has examined it and has certified that he marie exhaustive cor.--parative tests with other disinfV tants and found U-pino a first-class preparation and highly suitable fc all purposes as a general disinfect" n* and deodorant. It has nn agreeable odour and is very refreshing in its effects. Messrs. R. Wilson and Co.. Ltd., Taihape (whose manager is notorious for his patriotic efforts v shepherding the Empire's trade) have accepted the agency for U-pir' in this district, and are in a position to fill orders. It may be men tioned that U-pino is used by tl- - Zealand Defence Department in all its camps—nothing so unpatriotic as the use cf Gorman Lysol-is permuted there, move especially as a better British-made article is available. I is used by public hospitals, harbour boards, and most other public institutions, but the important point is that it is the very best, and very safest disinfectant and deodorant that can be had for use on the station and farm, for use on farm a?-»-mals. It combines all the germicidal and bactericidal powers of carbolic acid, with the pleasant deodorant qualities of pine oil. It is non-corro-sive and when diluted it is non-pois-onous. It is safe in use, sure in effect, and saving in cost. One part of U-pino is usdd to 100 parts of water. There is -every reason why public institutions, station owners, farmers, and the public generally should give the new all-British disinfecting fluid, U-pino, their patronage from now on. and discard the German-made Lysol for ever.
